Abstract: Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis is a disease of domestic and wild cattle and caused by BoHV-1. The disease was spread globally, but most of the European countries were eradicated it. The infection was manifested by signs of respiratory system, whereas the upper part is mostly affected and produce clinical sign of nasal discharge, reddening of the mouth and nose and conjunctivitis, elevated temperature, depression, loss of appetite, loss of milk yield and abortion. Genital tract also affected by the virus and produce the affection of male and female reproductive system. Isolation of virus from can be occurred from genital and nasal swabs for animals with reproductive problem and respiratory signs. The sample should be collected at the acute face of the infection. In severe cases, the sample also collected from different organs after slaughtering. Latency is the unique feature of the virus and the animals remain carrier of the virus throughout their life. The virus also further subtyped by molecular technique of DNA restriction analysis in to subtypes BoHV1.1 and BoHV1.2. Subtype 1.2 can also subdivided in to 2a and 2b. Establishment of IBR depends more on the route of infection than on the subtypes of the BoHV 1. Indirect or blocking ELISA and virus neutralization test are most frequently used for antibody detection. Both attenuated live and inactivated vaccine are used. This vaccine ised used to reduce clinical sign and the subsequent shedding of field virus. Moreover, to avoid its occurrence and spread of IBR, it is required to develop coordinated and systematic disease control with the involvement of all pertinent organizations and people.
